Probably the most innovative aspect of AM-RB 003's exterior is the introduction of a technology called FlexFoil. Previously used on aircraft, FlexFoil allows the surface of a wing to change shape seamlessly, altering its aerodynamic properties without opening flaps or moving the entire wing surface. This allows AM-RB 003's rear wing to offer increased downforce without many of the drag penalties of typical active aero designs.

This entry-level hypercar from Aston is especially notable because its turbocharged V6 hybrid engine marks the return of in-house engine design from Aston Martin. That's right. There'll be no Cosworth or AMG badges to be seen anywhere. It's also notable because it uses something called a Nexcel sealed oil system.
